Since he found out that this person was a woman, he could no longer see Ye Xiaoyu as a man as before. However, judging from the usual interactions, Ye Xiaoyu herself has completely regarded herself as a man.

Zou Youheng's horseback riding skills are okay, but the speed is too fast, sitting behind him, swaying, Ye Xiaoyu was frightened all the way, and he didn't have a sense of security at all.

Even if I haven't walked it for a long time, the road to the North District is still so familiar.

The roads are lined with houses, fields in the distance, and docks in the distance, and the position and appearance of these still lifes are as they have always been, and they have become just people walking on this road.

After walking for a while, the people around gradually became more and more noisy, and the sound became noisy. It's noisy, like the scene of a large-scale trade fair in the previous life.

"Here we are."

Zou Youheng stopped in front of the fence.

Ye Xiaoyu wondered why she didn't develop these lands when the land in Rongzhou City was tight and land prices were rising, and it didn't dawn on her until today that this large expanse of land and forests was reserved for the annual "February 2nd".

The originally empty land has been fenced off with a high wooden fence, and together with the forest where Ye Xiaoyu used to collect firewood, only a gate was left in the direction facing the road, and guards stood on both sides. When Ye Xiaoyu arrived, the guards were carefully checking the invitations of those who wanted to enter.

There were also many people gathered outside the high fence, and all kinds of small vendors were shouting hard. They all want to take advantage of today's opportunity to make a lot of money.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaoyu realized that he had made a mistake, the so-called "February 2nd" temple fair was simply a festival for the rich, and there was nothing for ordinary people at all, they had neither invitations to enter the fence, nor their own temple fairs, so they could only stand outside the fence, standing on their toes, through the "wall" covered with oiled paper. Watching the dignitaries and dignitaries wearing silk and satin eating, drinking, chatting and laughing inside.

It seems that this Rongzhou City. is not as civilized as he imagined, and there is still a strict hierarchy between social classes.

"Why are you stunned?"

Just thinking about it, Zou Youheng had already tied up his horse and walked over. saw Ye Xiaoyu standing in place in a daze. I couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder.

"When you go in later. Just pretend to be my little servant, carry the basket, and follow me. You're dressed anyway. You don't have to pretend to be a little girl. ”

Although the curfew for this assembly is strict, it is indeed allowed to bring a personal servant or maid, in fact, it also makes sense, so many rich people, someone must follow and serve.

Sure enough, Ye Xiaoyu followed behind Zou Youheng and walked through the gate very smoothly, and several guards at the door didn't even look at her.

Act like a snob!

After walking in, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but curse in her heart.

After passing through the gate, Ye Xiaoyu found that the so-called "February 2nd" temple fair was far grander than she imagined.

It seems that a "commercial street" appeared out of thin air, on both sides of the street, there are all kinds of Bogu shelves, on which all kinds of goods are placed, and according to the type of goods, several areas are divided in detail, jade, antiques, clothing, cloth, jewelry, ornaments, and all kinds of food, as long as you can think of it, you can find it here, there are many types, everything, even Ye Xiaoyu feels dazzled.

On both sides of the street, wooden pavilions are erected at intervals, in which tables and chairs are placed for people who are tired of walking.

After crossing this street, you will come to a wooded field. The forest, which was full of desolation before, seems to have undergone some rest, and it looks full of life and greenery. In the open space in front of the forest, there are many pots, all of which are well-grown flowers, and the shape of these flowers is born according to the topography, and at a glance, the whole person seems to be caught in a sea of flowers.

The original path in the woods has also been widened, and all kinds of flowers are also placed on both sides of the road, it is still early, young girls are walking in it, sometimes stopping to watch, sometimes talking and laughing, walking in the meantime, Ye Xiaoyu felt the spring so deeply for the first time.

"How?"

Zou Youheng came out of nowhere and punched Ye Xiaoyu in the arm.

"No wonder you love coming here......"

His eyes stopped at a few young women in spring shirts not far away, and Ye Xiaoyu said meaningfully.

"Tsk, you've thought too much about this, these pampered daughters, I'm not so interested."

Zou Youheng disagreed.

Although among these daughters, there are inevitably some who are beautiful, but they can't move, otherwise they will have to die or live to make themselves responsible, which is not fun.

"Give me the basket."

"Huh? This is what I brought to sell, you can't eat it. ”

Ye Xiaoyu vigilantly changed the basket to his hand.

"Who's going to eat it? I have something to eat outside. ”

Zou Youheng looked disgusted.

"Aren't you going to sell it? If you hold it in your hand like this, the ghost will come to you to buy it! ”

"What then? I can't put it on the side of the street outside, I'll be pulled out and thrown away by the guards, right? ”

Ye Xiaoyu asked rhetorically.

She is not stupid, of course she knows that she can't sell it in her hand like this, but as soon as she came in just now, she had already observed that there were many guards around that "commercial street", except for the original fixed stalls, others set up stalls on the street without authorization, and it was estimated that they would be driven out directly.

"Huh? You Ye Xiaoyu will also have no choice? ”

Zou Youheng was full of interest.

Ye Xiaoyu ignored him.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Like eating a delicious cake, Zou Youheng said with satisfaction.

“……”

"Let's go, we'll go back later, and go and dispose of the contents of your basket first."

As he spoke, Zou Youheng directly pulled Ye Xiaoyu's sleeve and pulled her back.

Pulling Ye Xiaoyu. Zou Youheng stopped in front of a stall selling all kinds of pastries on the side of the street, although it was selling pastries, but the shape and matching things, Ye Xiaoyu knew that the price was expensive.

The delicate wooden carved box, the surface of the pastries with fine patterns, the soft and sweet taste, looking at the things on the counter, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"I didn't see you in the Zou family just now, I thought you wouldn't be here today."

The stall owner is a young junior who met Zou Youheng. It's not as formalistic as the others.

"How so? Such occasions. You know ......."

Zou Youheng looked like a ruffian and grinned.

"Pastries are all you want, but don't eat what I put on the counter."

It seems that he has become accustomed to Zou Youheng's behavior of eating white food, and the stall owner greeted him casually.

"Tsk. How can you be like this? Is it other than eating. Can't I have anything else to do with you? ”

"Well, it seems so."

The young stall owner nodded earnestly.

Poof-

Adorned by the expression of the stall owner, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but lower her head and quietly raised the corners of her mouth.

"I'm serious today."

Zou Youheng was helpless.

"I've got some pastries here. I'll send it to you and sell it. ”

"Huh?"

The young stall owner looked up in surprise, then shook his head with a smile on his face.

"You're not going to tell me that you made the pastries you want to consign, do you?"

"You think too much, a friend of mine did it, oh, that's it, it's called Ye Xiaoyu."

Zou Youheng took a step back and reached out to push Ye Xiaoyu to the counter.

Hearing this, the stall owner raised his head and looked at Ye Xiaoyu who was suddenly pushed to the front with a smile.

"Uh, that, I made some pastries......"

The situation was too urgent, Ye Xiaoyu hadn't figured out how to phrase it, but picked up the basket slightly stiffly.

"Yes. Give me the basket. ”

The stall owner didn't have any extra words, and quickly agreed.

"This ......"

Lifting the lid of the bamboo basket, the young junior was startled by the pastries inside.

"Isn't this boy the owner of that pastry shop on West Street?"

"The small shop can't be called the boss, it's just barely able to eat."

Ye Xiaoyu replied with a smile.

"You're too modest, your shop's pastries are very popular now."

The stall owner laughed.

"......How much does this pastry cost?"

The stall owner asked as he took out the various cakes in the basket.

Since it is a consignment, the price must be indicated, otherwise it will be difficult for him to operate if someone comes to buy it.

"Oh, like this round milky little cake, one is 30 Wen, and this big matcha red bean costs 200 Wen each, but you can cut five pieces to sell it, and one piece is 40 Wen. This is called an egg tart, and one is also 30 Wen, and there is this glutinous rice dumpling......"

Ye Xiaoyu told the stall owner in detail about the prices of various pastries.

Because of the conditions, she only brought some simple ones today, such as double skin milk, milk tea, etc., and she didn't bring them.

"Okay, okay, this price or something, you can do it yourself......"

Standing next to him bored, Zou Youheng said impatiently to the stall owner.

Today's great spring light cannot be wasted on this endless negotiation of prices.

"Well, I'm sorry for you......"

At the last moment when he was forcibly pulled away by Zou Youheng, Ye Xiaoyu said to the stall owner with a smile.

After Lin went back to Li's house, he came back with a small wind chill, and he had a headache for several days, and he was lazy, and the number of scolding became much less.

But today is different from the past, no matter how uncomfortable her body is, she still has to be present at the temple fair on February 2, not only to buy things that are not usually seen, but also to be able to show off in front of other ladies. Because of the cold, she hadn't been to the party for several days.

In order to increase the stakes to show off, she decided to appear at the temple fair with her daughter and son-in-law.

"Huaiqing, what are you rubbing? Your brother-in-law's carriage is already waiting outside......"

Lin stood in the front yard and urged.

She wore a gold-edged embroidered beige jacket today, and her hair was deliberately coiled into the most popular bun in the city, and the whole person looked a lot younger. (To be continued......)

PS: I wish you all "Happy Juneteenth"...... o(￣▽￣)dO(∩_∩)O~~
